Getting started

To charge the phone, you can:

• Use the provided USB cable and power adapter to connect your phone to

an electric socket.

• Use a USB cable to connect your phone to a computer, and touch Charge

only on the USB connection methods screen.

Battery indicator

Your phone's battery level is shown on the status indicator.

• Blinking red: The battery level is lower than 10%.

• Steady red (when charging): The battery level is lower than 10%.

• Steady yellow (when charging): The battery level is higher than 10%.

Important information about the battery

• Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifecycle and may eventually need to

be replaced. If you notice significantly reduced battery life, replace the

battery. Your phone's built-in battery is not user-removable. To replace the

battery, contact an authorised service centre. Do not attempt to remove it

yourself.

• If your phone has been running for long periods of time, especially in hot

environments, heat may be pushed to the surface of the phone. If your

4

Getting started

phone is overheating, cease using it immediately and unplug it from any

power source to let it cool down. Do not hold on to the phone for too long

to avoid burn injuries.

• Use the original battery, power adapter, and USB cable to charge your

phone. Using third-party accessories may reduce your phone's

performance or pose security risks. Do not operate your phone or cover it

with any object while it is charging. Do not cover the power adapter either.

• The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient

temperature and age of the battery.

• If your phone is low on power, it plays an alert tone and displays a

message. If the battery level is extremely low, your phone automatically

turns off.
